His former county and international team-mate Angus Fraser, now Middlesex's director of cricket, said: "I am thrilled to have Mark back at Middlesex CCC.

"It is my job to provide Middlesex's cricketers with the best possible coaching, support and advice available and in Mark Ramprakash they have that.

"He will offer our batsmen something different. His record speaks for itself and in the past 25 years there has not been a better batsman in county cricket. Mark moved from Middlesex to Surrey in 2000, but I never felt his heart left the club."

Ramprakash said: "Middlesex is the club that gave me the chance to achieve what I have in cricket and I am delighted to be able to return to work with and help the current and next generation of Middlesex cricketers.

"I am excited by the talent in the current crop of players and look forward to contributing to the club."
